After the break, Kotoko won a free-kick just outside the Istanbul area and Larbi Coomson curled it over the human wall to put them in front.

In the 74th minute, the visitors turned on the heat and captain Eric Agyei powerfully delivered a free-kick which went through the hands of goalkeeper Soulama to equalize.

Kotoko kept on pilling pressure and it paid with four minutes left on the clock when a nice passing move on the left led to Jospeh Ochaya sending in a cross which was headed in by Yusif for the match winner.
